Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 17 looks familiar (Please read on Tuesday)
"Ouch!"

Chen Gou'er's strange cry shattered the tranquility of the Three Immortals Pavilion.

He jumped up from the ground, clutching his buttocks. Li Wushou slowly opened his eyes, and a touch of color returned to his thin face.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a faint throbbing sound in your chest cavity, but the intervals between the throbbing are extremely long.

"Why are you yelling like that?"

The old beggar rebuked him irritably, the wrinkles on his face seeming to have faded considerably, showing some displeasure at Chen Gou'er's strange barking.

"The eyes on my butt look like they're about to pop out! Ahhh, I'm going into labor!"

Li Wushou reluctantly got up, slapped Chen Gou'er, who seemed to have grown up a bit, on the head, then grabbed him by the neck and pressed him down onto his thigh.

The old beggar was quick-witted and nimbly pulled down Chen Gou'er's pants.

Three eyes came into view, one of which was a pair of large, red eyes staring straight at him.

The old beggar was stunned for a moment, then with a "smack," he slapped the beggar in the eye. "You dare to glare at me?"
"Hey old man, you're taking revenge on my personal grudge!"

Chen Gou'er struggled to get up and bite someone, but Li Wushou held him down firmly.

"Stop messing around, your butt looks familiar!"

His bloodshot eyes were stunned by the old beggar's slap, but he gradually came to his senses as Li Wushou finished speaking.

The flesh and fascia rooted in Chen Gou'er's buttocks began to struggle violently.

Like an octopus with tentacles, Blood Eye pulled half of its body out from its rear end, glared at the old beggar, and was about to leap up and pounce on him.

Li Wushou watched closely, and the moment the blood pupil leaped up, the black shadows swarmed forward, enveloping the blood pupil inside.

Chen Gou'er's buttocks writhed and quickly returned to normal. He jumped off Li Wushou's lap and bared his teeth, ready to bite the old beggar.

"Hey, Chen Gou'er, don't be ungrateful!"

The old beggar pressed Chen Gou'er's forehead and hurriedly began to explain.

“You ate bird, so you have too much blood in your body. Your eyes ripened prematurely. I deliberately let it jump out of your butt.”

Chen Gou'er was half-believing and half-doubting. He turned to look at the blood-red eyes wrapped in Li Wushou's shadow. They were somewhat similar to the pair of eyes on the golden statue of the City God. They had a blood-red, glassy feel, which showed that the quality of these eyes was excellent.

He couldn't help but swallow a few times, only to see that Li Wushou had also secretly swallowed a few times.

He quickly snatched Blood Eye back from the shadows and shoved it into the old beggar's hand: "You recognize this one, go and hand it over!"

The old beggar realized what was happening and looked at Chen Gou'er in surprise: "Have you gotten a brain?"

Just as Chen Gou'er was about to bare his teeth, he saw the old beggar sit down on the ground with a thud. Two red lights flashed across the dark soles of his feet, and his eyes recognized him!

This time, without Li Wushou's help, Chen Gou'er pounced on the old beggar's legs, his two small hands grabbing the soles of the old beggar's feet, and in an instant, Chen Gou'er had captured the old beggar's two blood-red eyes.

"Oh my god! Chen Gou'er!"

The old beggar wailed loudly. Chen Gou'er shoved the eyeball in his hand into the old beggar's hand, turned his back to Li Wushou, and kept giving him meaningful glances!

The old beggar understood, quickly stuffed the four glasses into his pocket, stood up from the ground, and rushed out the door.

As he walked, he called out, "I'm going to the Blood Buddha Temple to exchange my eyes, and I'll also pick up some new ones."

Li Wushou glanced suspiciously at the old beggar's back, then turned his gaze to Chen Gou'er.

Chen Gou'er suddenly started wiping the table, then yawned and said, "Li Wushou, I'm so sleepy. I didn't sleep all night. I'm going to bed."

There must be something that this old man and young man are hiding from me!

There must be something strange about this eye thing!
I was tempted to go and see what was going on, but then I thought better of it. The old beggar and Chen Gou'er wouldn't harm me, so I decided to keep it a secret.

Peering through the gate into the courtyard, Li Wushou saw the City God's wisp of spirit still standing there, motionless. Somewhat helplessly, Li Wushou closed the gate, deciding to take a nap and wait for the old beggar to return to see how to handle the situation.

I slept soundly and deeply, but it wasn't a very comfortable sleep.

I wish I could eat well and sleep well every day.

When Li Wushou woke up, Chen Gou'er and the old beggar were lying on the bed again, groaning and moaning.

Upon closer inspection, two more pairs of eyes appeared on the old beggar's feet and on Chen Gou'er's buttocks.

"How come there are so many more?"

The old beggar looked troubled and said with a hint of resentment, "That blind monk saw that the eyes I gave him were of good quality, so he told us to get another pair!"

Chen Gou'er also started groaning, "Li Wushou, you'd better earn more money so you can buy me more delicious food. It hurts so much!"

"I should have told you to beg that monk earlier! Now these eye-like growths are multiplying and causing a lot of trouble!"

Li Wushou was somewhat helpless. Originally, the plan was for everyone to have an extra pair of spiritual eyes the day after tomorrow, but now they have two extra pairs. What a waste!

Are these two, one old and one young, both masochists?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't have it on his own body, Li Wushou would have liked to try planting a pair himself. How come these two are like addicts?

"I still need to pray to the City God for you. It's good that you're awake now. Let's deal with the spirits in the courtyard first!"

Hearing the old beggar say this, Li Wushou didn't say anything more, and felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Originally, the idea of ​​withdrawing from trouble and staying away had unknowingly turned into trying to fool the City God and then strive to become the High Priest and receive more money.

After all, the old man and the young girl in the family are a handful, and more importantly, they don't save money!

The old beggar grabbed a handful of straw, placed it under his feet, got out of bed, and pushed open the door. Li Wushou then realized that the sun was almost setting.

The City God's spirit remained standing there, motionless.

The old beggar straightened his clothes, and without lighting any incense, he simply bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Li Wushou is a pitiful man. Please, do not look at him!"

After saying this, his face became even more sorrowful, and he bowed once more to the spirit of the City God!
"These past few days, Li Wushou has been diligently studying the Yin Arts of the Divine Officials at home. He will surely become a Great Divine Official in seven days to repay the City God!"

The old beggar continued bowing three times to the City God.

"Please have mercy!"

After bowing three times, a golden light flashed between the eyebrows of the spirit standing blankly in the courtyard. A wisp of mist drifted out from the hall of the Three Immortals Pavilion, landed between the spirit's eyebrows and eyes, and then instantly merged and disappeared.

The City God's spirit looked at Li Wushou and nodded: "Diligent in learning, excellent!"

Then, his soul rippled and transformed into a beam of light, landing on Li Wushou's shoulder.

The old beggar straightened up, rubbed his back, and looked like he couldn't take it anymore.

Li Wushou, who had intended to ask about the shady dealings surrounding this matter, found himself unable to utter a single question.

That's it! Let it be!
The old beggar turned and went back into the house, his steps somewhat unsteady.

Chen Gou'er lay on the bed board, his butt sticking out.

Seeing the old beggar step into the house, he put his hand in front of his chest with a reassuring gesture while his back was to Li Wushou.

She smiled and then buried her head in the tattered quilt, humming softly.
